Bai Zhaomei escaped from danger in the snowstorm at the border, and the spying information was very important to Meng Zhixu, so she made another contribution.
What was even more gratifying was that when he climbed out of the snow nest, he met a white fox.
When he came to the border from home, his sister gave him his tiger skin. At that time, he promised his parents that he would hunt a fox for his sister and make fox fur.
He found no trace of the white fox when he arrived at the border, and he didn't expect that it would take no effort at all.
When the white fox saw him, Xie Xiaolian and others, they turned around and ran away. Bai Zhaomei was thinking about her sister's fox fur, so she took the arrow and ran after the white fox.
The white fox ran very fast, leading the lost Bai Zhaomei and others to the road leading to the barracks.
Without this white fox, their return to the camp might not be so smooth, and they might be ambushed by the enemy.
Such a spiritual white fox, Bai Zhaomei was reluctant to hunt it and released it in the snow.
But it wandered around in the snow twice and came back again, following Bai Zhaomei closely, so Bai Zhaomei had no choice but to take it back to the barracks and raise it.
The centurion's token lay on the table.
With the help of an oil lamp, Bai Zhaomei wrapped her sister's tiger skin cloak and wrote excitedly to report the news that she had been promoted to centurion.
A letter to my sister.
A letter addressed to Cuicui.
As for other people in the family except my sister, my sister will tell her family about his current situation anyway. Writing to my sister is equivalent to writing to other people.
In a letter to his sister, he mentioned that he had raised a white fox full of spirituality. He felt that the white fox was as smart as his sister. He did not have a fox fur coat to give to his sister. When he returned home after the war, he would give the white fox to his sister to raise.
In his letter to Cuicui, he promised to wear the title of captain and return to his hometown to marry Cuicui next year.
Bai Zhaomei finished writing the letter, thinking about how long it would take for the letter to reach her sister and Cuicui.
Maybe it was already summer by then.
What Bai Zhaomei didn't know was that when the letter was sent out, his marriage was facing a major crisis.
His marriage to Cuicui was almost severed.
…
Bai Dazhuang heard with his own ears at the magistrate's house that Cuicui's father Ning Kuang was about to break off the engagement with the Bai family. He was so shocked that he didn't even go to see Erlang. He entrusted the clothes and food prepared by Xie Chuntao to Liu Shu, and hurried with his eldest son in a carriage. Rush towards Shenshu Village.
I want to return home as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with my parents and grandmother.
As the eldest uncle, it would be hard for him to stay in Huaicheng and break up with the fifth brother's prospective father-in-law, right?
But it was still a step too late.
It's not that Ning Kuang came to Bai's house to get Cuicui, but that an unexpected person appeared in Shenshu Village...
"Brother, let me ask you, how do we leave the Bai family?"
Village Chief Zhao, who got up early, was stopped by a woman and young man at the intersection.
The two look like mother and son in terms of age.
But in terms of dress, they look like masters and servants, because the young people are dressed in rich clothes, while the middle-aged women are very plainly dressed, and even have patches on their trouser legs.
I don’t know why I’m looking for the Bai family?
Ever since Xiao Fuyuan was named the village head and her reputation for being a good talker became known, quite a few people from outside wanted to come to Shenshu Village to meet her.
But they couldn't be taken advantage of by those who were interested. Village Chief Zhao increased his vigilance and asked carefully, "Who are you? Why are you going to Bai's house?"
The middle-aged companion smiled and said: "I am the distant cousin-in-law of the Bai family. This is my son. Because he has been admitted to the Tongsheng School, he has come to recognize him."
Village Chief Zhao looked at the young man carefully.
Although there is obvious impatience in his eyebrows, he wears the hat of a scholar.
Like other people in the village, Village Chief Zhao has a natural affinity for scholars. As soon as he heard that the boy was a child, he immediately relaxed his guard.
Maybe they were relatives of the Zhen family. After all, he had heard since he was young that the Zhen family was a young lady who escaped from a wealthy family after a family went bankrupt.
"You walk along this road. At the very top is the Bai family, the one with two big sycamore trees at the door. Don't go wrong, it's opposite the big house." Village Chief Zhao pointed the way to the mother and son.
"Thank you so much, brother." The middle-aged woman followed Village Chief Zhao's hand and first saw a big house. She was still wondering, isn't it that the Bai family is a farmer? How could there be such a big house.
It turned out to be the courtyard house opposite.
"...I don't know how hard it is to live in the countryside." The middle-aged woman couldn't help but say.
"No, the family used to be poor, and the poor had to borrow food..." Village Chief Zhao continued.
Village Chief Zhao said this not to expose the family background, but mainly because he was afraid that someone would come to his good brother Bai Banban's house to catch the autumn breeze. After all, he had not seen many relatives in the poor days, but now that life is better than all walks of life, there are more relatives. .
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she looked at her son.
Didn't you expect life to be so poor?
That girl from the Ning family is actually willing to betrothed to the Bai family. I heard that her uncle, the prefect, is the matchmaker.
Maybe the girl from the Ning family has been secretly communicating with the fifth child of the Bai family, and the prefect uncle must have been deceived.
Otherwise, how could any uncle from the prefect tell his niece about such a poor family?
That would be easy!
The mother and son who went to Shenshu Village to inquire about the Bai family were the Luo family mother and son who Ning Kuang married Cuicui.
The Luo family, mother and son, originally lived in their hometown.
After the death of the man, Yu lived alone with her son Luo Zhi.
She obeyed the man's last wish and kept gritting her teeth so that her son could study.
It's just that this son's doting eyes are the same. She eats chaffy vegetables and wears patches, but she wants her son to eat fish and meat and wear silk clothes.
Over time, it becomes spoiled!
Luo Zhi was smart when he was young, and he did well in reading. Even though his family was poor, a wealthy man still valued his qualifications, so he promised his daughter to him, and they would get married as soon as he was admitted as a scholar.
But Luo Zhi didn't know whether he was spoiled or something. When he grew up, he didn't study seriously. He also learned to miss the fireworks place from his friends.
It took three exams before I finally got the Tongsheng test.
After being blessed with Tongsheng, Yu's tail was raised to the sky. She firmly believed that her son would be a scholar and the number one scholar in the future. He even didn't look down on the rich man's daughter, and the rich man's daughter often got the upper hand.
The rich man was not a vegetarian and directly terminated his engagement with the Luo family.
Yu was not in a hurry and actively promoted his son to families with better family backgrounds.
Not to mention, the Li Zheng family was really moved and wanted to marry their little daughter to Luo Zhi.
But he was blocked by a firework woman holding a child in her arms. The firework woman claimed that the child was Luo Zhi's.
This has caused a stir in the whole county. A scholar has not yet obtained any honors, but he is wandering around the fireworks field, and even has an illegitimate child. Who dares to marry their daughter to him?
Luo Zhi's reputation in his hometown was ruined, and the fireworks woman was hot on his heels.
At this moment, Mrs. Yu suddenly remembered that when her husband was still alive, her husband's classmate Ning Kuang was drinking at home and made a joke about promising his wife a son of the Luo family if she had a daughter in her belly.
So he took Luo Zhi to the Ning family in Huaicheng.
In the past, the Yu family looked down upon the Ning family. They thought the Ning family was of low origin and Ning Kuang was just a sesame mung bean official.
But that's different now.
Anyway, his reputation in his hometown has been ruined, his marriage has been damaged, and he has an illegitimate child, so he might as well go to Huaicheng and marry the Ning family.
In the future, if one's son is promoted to a high official, he can just divorce his wife and marry another high-ranking man.
